Hello,
I recently replaced the fans on my monsoon II heat sink with two new 120 mm case fans. SO now the fans are powered driectly by the PS as apposed to mother board directly. Upon reinstalling everything I turned on the PC only to have it shut off a minute later and restart, it ran for another minute shut off and now wont even enter POST. My question is does this mother board need a fan plugged into the CPU_Fan controller on the board to boot, or did I just break my board while handling it? Thanks in advance for your help.
